Seek alternative counsel. Abhorrent behavior by Leah Mayersohn. This is the post Leah does not want you to see.
March 29, 2024: Four associates of Leah Mayersohn’s law firm resigned abruptly. There was no communication from Leah Mayersohn regarding their departure. The discovery of their departure was made when an email sent to one of the staff bounced back.
March 30, 2024: In response to the sudden exit of... associates and to ensure the continuity of legal representation for an active case, a transfer of retainer agreement was signed, directing future communications and the retainer balance to my new counsel. This is a practice which is both legal and supported by The Florida Bar to ensure client outcomes are the number one priority.
April 4, 2024: Attempts were made to communicate with Leah Mayersohn, requesting the transfer of retainer funds to the new legal representation and to provide a copy of the case file. The communications included a formal request, followed by several emails reiterating the demand and indicating the potential for legal action if the requests were not honored.
April 5, 2024: A formal demand letter was sent to Leah Mayersohn, insisting on the immediate transfer of the retainer funds and compensation for damages incurred due to the firm’s failure to act.

April 8, 2024: Despite the 48-hour time limit set to receive an indication of compliance for my demand of the transfer of the retainer, Leah Mayersohn has failed to respond to the demands. This continued inaction demonstrates a lack of professionalism. Confirmation of Leah Mayersohn's awareness of these demands has been established through a conversation with a member of her staff, yet no action has been taken to address or resolve the demands.
April 15, 2024: Ms. Mayersohn contested this posting on Avvo, attempting to have it removed. This action suggests a desire to keep my review from public visibility.
April 16, 2024: Despite repeated requests and a formal demand for the transfer of my retainer funds and case file, Leah Mayersohn has remained conspicuously silent. This disregard for essential client communications starkly undermines her commitment to professional ethics. In response to her failure to act, I have escalated the matter by filing a formal complaint with The Florida Bar to seek a resolution and uphold the standards of accountability required in legal practice.
